Surprise Weekend

My Mom’s 50th Birthday was on the 21st of September. Just a couple weeks before then, my Dad told us he was planning a surprise party for her with all the family and some close friends on the 25th. On Thursday night my Dad ever so sweetly flew us to San Diego for the weekend without my Mom knowing (he is ever so sly).

Our flight got in pretty late so the plan was to sneak in, then Friday morning surprise her in the kitchen where she gets the kids ready for school. Our perfect plan came to an end when her two dogs caught our scent and ran down the stairs to the room we were staying in. Obviously, my Mom followed. She opened the door and noticed a bearded guy in the bed. At first she thought it was one of my older brothers who may have popped in for the night, but she also noticed a girl in the bed! I can only imagine the thoughts that ran through her head.

After a few moments she realized it was us and couldn’t have been more surprised or thrilled.

We took a trip to the beach to take some pictures, threw Mom her surprise party and just enjoyed a short but sweet weekend. With Jay’s parents making it down to the party on Saturday, we were lucky to get to spend time with all of our close family. Thanks again Dad for flying us down for such a fun weekend.

The birthday girl.
